Quarterback Rich Gannon spoke on SiriusXM radio (via soundcloud.com) and first called Brown one of "most prepared, most detailed, most dependable players" he played with in his 17 years in the NFL.

He later stated that early preparation for the Buccaneers led the team to believe "being physical and running the football" would be the best way to beat Tampa despite that not really being "who the Raiders were that year."

Gannon admitted that Oakland didn't change the verbiage and terminology at the line of scrimmage and that most of it was "a carry-over from what Jon Gruden had installed."

The former MVP went on to say, "there was a culture, at that time, in Oakland, that made it very difficult to compete for championships."

In other words, dysfunction at its finest.

Gannon did end his radio spot essentially saying he did not believe Callahan or anyone sabotaged the Super Bowl in any way.

Gruden gave them our complete playbook, our checks, they knew what we were doing,” Kennedy said. “They knew where we were going. That’s how they were able to have so many interceptions for touchdowns. Because honestly that was the difference in the football game.

However, Brown got an important corroboration on NFL Live on Tuesday afternoon. Jerry Rice, a member of that Raiders team, fully backed Brown's claims regarding Callahan's sabotage, citing the odd game plan change on the Friday before the Super Bowl.

With a few players on each side of this increasingly interesting controversy, the "sabotage" appears to be more personal opinion than anything else.

Something tells me though, that the opinions of Brown and Rice will carry significant weight.

Will we ever know Callahan's true intentions?

Eh, probably not.

But there certainly seems to be a considerable amount of evidence that Callahan wasn't exactly preparing his team to the best of his ability before that Super Bowl.
